Studies in the Scriptures, Volume 7: The Finished Mystery

Jesus said, ‘And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that
believe in Me, it is better that a millstone were hanged about his neck,
and he were cast into the sea.’ Mark 9:42. Better be like Gamaliel in the
days of the Apostles, when St. Peter and others were on trial. Gamaliel
rose up and said, ‘Refrain from these men, and let them alone, for if this
work be of men it will come to naught; but if it be of God, ye cannot
overthrow it, for ye fight against God.’ ”—Prof. S. A. Ellis.
To the four angels.—The church in the flesh, the Harvest workers.—Matt.
24:31.
To whom it was given.—By completing the Harvest work and thus releasing
the restraints on the evil spirits.
To hurt the earth.—Throw order‐loving peoples into desperation.
And the sea.—So enrage the masses, not under religious restraint, as to
make it impossible to control them.
7:3. Saying, Hurt not the earth.—Do not complete the Harvest work too
soon, and thus allow the demons to invade the minds of men until the
appointed time. (Many writers claim that this has already happened to the
ex‐Czar of Russia, to Kaiser Wilhelm and to the chief of modern
“evangelists.”)
Neither the sea.—I will see to it that the work of Harvest shall hold in
check those not under religious restraint until the work of Harvest is
finished and the demons are released, when, maddened by the obsession of
the evil spirits, there are no lengths to which the godless will not
presume to go. All Bible Students, followers of Pastor Russell, know how
urgently he has warned for forty years that this deluge of evil spirits is
sure to come.
